Our gift to you this season is an all-star cast of guests. Joining us for the trumpet set will be Joe Burgstaller, who — in keeping with the evening’s theme — is also the husband of our artistic director Julie Desbordes. QUO’s own Darcy Grae, winner of our annual concert competition, will be the bassoon soloist in the Villa-Lobos, and QUO’s former Artistic Director Nolan Dresden returns to conduct the Carter. Need some romance? Our movie music will be interpreted by dancers Quetzal Arias and Chris Braz. And we are thrilled to announce that the evening will be hosted by Jenny Lee Mitchell.

As always, join us at 7:15 for a pre-concert discussion panel with our artistic directors and soloists.
